What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
John Chrysostom
"Wherefore, my brethren, flee from idolatry." Again he courts them by the name of kindred, and urges them to be rid of this sin with all speed. For he did not say, simply, depart, but "flee;" and he calls the matter "idolatry," and no longer bids them quit it merely on account of the injury to their neighbor, but signifies that the very thing of itself is sufficient to bring a great destruction.
Theophylact of Ohrid
Since he had given them a sufficient rebuke, he now softens it by calling them beloved. However, he forbids them to eat food sacrificed to idols not only because it is harmful to the brethren, but condemns this practice in itself, calling it idolatry, and demanding a swift departure from it, for he says: "flee."
